CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'Jeopardy!' host Ken Jennings has proven himself to be quite the clever shopper with his recent purchase. Recently, the 49-year-old game show presenter wore a necktie that attracted notice due to its shocking price.
A 'Jeopardy!' fan revealed that the necktie was actually reasonably priced wherever you were to buy it. Jennings may have used his cleverness to win one of the greatest prizes on 'Jeopardy!' but it would appear that he is not accustomed to spending a lot of money on necessities in daily life.
Ken Jennings' popular necktie
'Jeopardy!' has a very interesting set of fans. But a specific fashion blogger who picks apart the outfits chosen by the hosts, contestants, and sometimes even the crew members has got to be the best one. The blog is called 'Jeopardy! But Make It Fashion' and is run by a major enthusiast of the game show, Lilly. In her most recent 'Jeopardy!' update, she expressed her happiness with Jennings' choice of necktie for one of the recent episodes.
According to her blog, the tie was a shift from the general prints the host went along with because of the paisley print and the bright magenta color. What was even more surprising about the tie was its price. The tie is available on sites like Mercari where products, especially clothes, are sold at a much cheaper rate as a form of clearance. It was listed for $59 only and was from the Ted Baker London brand. While the site specifically sells at a cheaper rate, this brand is known for its affordable prices for good-quality clothing.
What is the net worth of Ken Jennings?
It definitely makes everyone curious to know what could possibly be the net worth of a game show player who is perhaps the most well-known for his longest run on 'Jeopardy!' Jennings won more than four million dollars on the game show itself and has since taken part in other quizzing gigs.
As of 2023, Jennings' net worth stands at $6 million, as per Suggest. It's unclear as of now whether the 'Jeopardy!' host will be protesting alongside other actors and performers from SAG-AFTRA for equality in pay and policy negotiations against the usage of AI for TV appearances. Nothing is confirmed about him continuing his tenure as a host either after the current season comes to a close by the end of July.
